  • Support participants' health needs, including medication administration (per MAP standards), appointment scheduling, and monitoring overall wellbeing.
  • Assist with financial skills and money management, maintaining accurate documentation of all expenditures.
  • Respond to emergencies and crisis situations appropriately, following agency protocols and communicating with supervisors.
  • Advocate for participants and help them build self-advocacy skills; serve as a liaison with families, providers, and community supports.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of Individual Service Plans (ISPs), documenting progress and participation.
  • Maintain accurate and timely documentation, including daily logs, incident reports, and health records.
  • Promote a safe environment by following all safety procedures, assisting with emergency drills, and identifying potential hazards.
